<p>The Venezuelan government has rejected the blockade
ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump, Venezuelan Vice
President Delcy Rodríguez said Tuesday and defined the
blockade as an attack against the entire country.</p>

'Imperialist' Total Blockade by US</a></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>"He has taken the most dangerous steps against our
country to lay the foundations for absolute suffocation
against Venezuela," Vice President Rodríguez warned.</p>
<p>She went on to say that although the opposition says
the measures are against President Nicolas Maduro, the
U.S. blockade affects all Venezuelans.</p>
<p>"Is it really [about] Maduro? Or is it a total
financial blockade against Venezuela? If you financially
close Venezuela, how will the country buy its food and
medicines?" she asked.</p>
<p>On the Oslo-Barbados talks, the vice president declared
that the opposition "has kicked the dialogue table,"
while she urged national unity. "They have to stop
the understanding that they govern the world," she said
in reference to the United States.</p>
<p>U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order
Monday that imposes a near-total blockade on government
assets in that country, which includes an embargo
against food suppliers, among other basic inputs. This
is the first time in 30 years that Washington takes such
an action against a sovereign country. </p>
